I am doing a hardening heat treatment on high carbon bearing steel.I have a problem of formation of a microstructure called troostite,which I observed it after tempering.How can I avoid this? Is it due to short austenitizing time (I am austenitizing at 850 C for 20 min)? Is there any reference...
I have 100Cr6 bearing steel.I want to harden it to get a hardness level of around 63HRC.the initial structure is spherodised carbide in the ferrite matrix.the procedure i aim is that to austenitise it to 850C and hold for 20 min at this temperature, quench it in oil and then finally tempering it...
Thank you very much
yes I mean 'pearlite' but no grain boundary carbides.first of all what I should be doing was intercritical annealing(it should have been partially austenitized before holding and slow cooling) but mistakenly what has been done was subcritical annealing around 680C which gives...
Hello,
I have some high carbon(1%C) bearing steel,i followed the soft annealing procedure to prepare it for machining.what I expected to get was spherodised cementite in a continous ferrite matrics, unfortunately,when i see the microstructure i get somekind of ferrite so i assumed there is...
